Kaskus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kaskus is The Largest Indonesian forum site which is widely considered as the largest Indonesian online community. It was established on November 6, 2000, by three Indonesian students (AD, RS, and BD) in the United States. As of August 31, 2006, Kaskus has more than 200,000 members. In August 2005 and September 2006, PC Magazine Indonesia voted Kaskus as The Best Indonesian communities twice (2005 & 2006).[1] Registration is required for new users to participate in the community, and every registered member has the privilege to access more than twenty sub-forums on various subjects. The community runs on the vBulletin forum software.
On May 23, 2006, the internet domain has been changed from .com to .us in response to a computer virus called Brontok that attacked the servers.[2]
